Well ... looks like there might be an issue with TCP/IP although it is enabled, in fact, I unchecked it a rechecked it, restarted SQL Server. Couldn't connect trying to telnet in using the IP of the box it's on and the standard 1433 on the port ... I'm going to reboot the server in a bit after everyone has left for the day and see what if any effect that might have.
